Storyboard

Explanation of my idea

My idea was based on a character names Ramo, who was played by myself, getting ready for a rap battle. It starts of with me preparing and free-styling to myself in the bathroom then my partner, Shanizzle,walks in and tells me that the audience is calling me back. Then the scene cuts to black and I walk out the room. I chose this idea because I am a big fan of Eminem and it reminded me of the film '8 Mile'. 

In the first shot I'm doing a close up shot I chose this close up because it looked like I was staring straight ahead in the mirror and I wanted the audience to see my face. When the scene cuts to black it shows that I have my eyes closed while my hood is down and I visualize the cheering crowd. Afterwards I look up at the camera and straight ahead then show my game face. In the long shot my partner Shanizzle,walks through the corridor to the bathroom in this close up shot he pushes the door open then the scene cuts to the door opening on the other side. I chose this shot because it shows him opening the door other side and it shows match on action.

In this shot I'm doing a long shot of me free-styling to myself before Sharnizzle comes in and tells me that the audience is calling me back. We chose an over the shoulder shot because it shows the 180 degree rule and the shot reverse shot while me and my partner having a conversation before we leave bathroom. Afterwards the scene fades to black and the scene ends with me walking away.

 This week i learn't about cutting,editing and the different rules of filming for example transitions. A transition is how you edit from a shot to the other, I also learn't that fade to black, dissolve and cross fade could be used at the beginning of a scene or at the end, I learn't that  match on action is where you have two pieces of footage that flow from one shot to the other. I learn't about shot reverse shot  where we see A's point of view and then you cut to person B's point of view this makes sure you
have talking space and the 180 degree rule. The camera starts shooting from the left side and then continues shooting from the same side. I learn't the establishing shot is the setting of the scene, mid shot is where they are showing half of the body. A close up is a shot is where we see detail and a extreme close up shot is where there showing more detail. A high angle shot, low angle and a canted angle shot is where the camera is not straight a tilt movement only goes up and down, pan goes from left to right and tracking is where the camera follows you. This week i came up with a story board of myself staring at the camera which is supposed to be me looking in the mirror in a bathroom free-styling and preparing myself for a rap battle right before Rashaan walks through hallway to the bathroom door and opens it. This is a story board idea I planned with my brother Rashaan.

FILMS 

during summer the film i watched was panther i found the film moving and sad but interesting this film based on how the panthers came to be during the civil rights movement and how the black panther party (which was used for self-defense) started in the 1960s. i found this film interesting because during the time i was watching this i wrote notes about what was happening from the film the reason why i wrote the information about the panther film because i have always been interested into learning about  the black panther and the black history for quite some time now.

MUSIC

 

one of the songs i listened to over the summer was a song called guts over fear by eminem the song is about how he's writing about almost the same thing in his songs, about how he came up in the rap game , how far his drug problem took him because of the loss of his best friend, how he was shy and then became confident, how people can relate to his struggle and how successful he became with his music this song opened up to me because it tort me how having guts was the opposite of having fear and reminded me what it felt like to be a shy person and to become confident.

PROGRAMME

the programme i watched earlier in the summer was the boondocks i started watching it when i was in year 9 and i found the show funny while i was watching the episodes. some of the episodes had their own ideas from different movies like in the shinin episode there were sences similar to friday the questioning sence from the thank you for not snitching episode was from menace to society and in the block is hot episode were Huey throws a trash can at the lemonade stand was from do the right thing i reconised this because i secne all three of these films before i thought season 1,2,3 and 4 was funny but when season 4 was coming out i thought it wasn't going to as funny as the earlier seasons in a way i was right because some of the episodes from season 4 were not as funny as the earlier work but still i find this is one of my favorite tv shows and still watch it today.



WEBSITE


the website i went on over the summer was Ali tomineek. The website shows his home page, his bio story, his music, his press, shop, contact and cart i was searching the internet one evening and then i can across one of his videos started watching it i was a bit surprised to see a rapper at the age of 14 being able to rap that fast because i was starting to rap at that time and at that time i was the same age as him ever since then i always liked his music and post a video of one of my rap on internet and tell him good i thought his raps where and how he was one of the youngest rappers to inspire me not just to rap fast but to continue thinking while speaking positive message through my songs.



STORY ON THE NEWS

the story i saw on the news over the summer was the malisa airline plane crash in july 2014 i remember seeing the story on the news that the plane was shot down and i was shocked to see the destruction the plane crash caused. i'm glad some surrved but what i most felt sorry for about the crash was for all of the 289 pasengers that lost there lifes and for all the people that lost their love ones on to this day i wonder why did these people shoot the plane down that day, how did they manage to shoot it down and for what reason.
